| | A Fun Project For Beginners Iam always looking for fun projects for beginners and here's one that will help you practice on faces ...
Get a basswood Goose egg ( you can get them at most craft stores) and just carve a variety of faces on all sides of it ..
I sat down the other night at the plant and just had fun doing this ..
All it takes is a knife and it allows for alot of practice on simple faces ...
Hope you enjoy a sample ..
Gene
